2 Samuel 20:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ So Amasa went to summon Judah, but he took longer than the time that David had set for him.

⁶ So David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba son of Bikri will do more damage to us than Absalom. You take the soldiers of your lord. Pursue Sheba, so that he does not find fortified cities for himself, and we lose him.”

⁷ So Joab’s men, the Kerethites, the Pelethites, and all the elite troops followed Abishai. They went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bikri.
